As announced by the band yesterday on social media:

Quote:
It’s with broken hearts that we report that our brother, bassist and best friend Brad Raub has passed on. He was 36 years young.

Brad was well read, fucking hilarious, a true sweetheart, a great listener, a deadly sharp bassist, a legendary napper, and a man who loved his family and friends til his last moment.

A true example of a person whom to know was to love, and his friendship, mirth, his kindness and a thousand other qualities will be missed beyond what words can convey. Nothing can repair the void left in our lives right now but we are accepting love and good vibes. If you smoke then smoke one for our man, if you drink then drink one for our man. We love you Bad Brad. See you on the other side.

Damn what a bummer, and only 36 years old... :(

They literally just played Milwaukee Metal Fest two weeks ago. Just shows how quickly it can end.

Very sad. Any word on cause of death? 36 is fucking tragically young.

Oh man, this is fucking terrible. His other band Sumerlands is one of very few traditional metal bands of note in the Philly area, caught them a few years ago and they were rock solid. It feels weird having all of these noteworthy artists passing who are younger than me. :(

Man, I just saw Eternal Champion at Hell's Heroes. I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but even I thought "hmm this bassist is laying it down." (The only time I'd seen them before was many years ago before they were signed and had a different bassist.)

Absolutely tragic, but I'm glad I got to have that experience and hear him do his thing. I'll have a smoke in his honor.
